The New York Jets and New Orleans Saints square off in week 14 NFL action from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Sunday afternoon.
The New Orleans Saints come into this game on the heels of a 27-17 loss to Dallas for their fifth straight loss. Trevor Siemian’s thrown for 1,083 yards, 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 57.2% passing while Alvin Kamara’s leading the Saints with 530 rushing yards and 3 scores.

On defense, Demario Davis leads the Saints with 80 total tackles including 3 sacks while Marcus Davenport has 5.5 sacks and P.J. Williams has 3 interceptions this season.
The New York Jets will try to bounce back from a 33-18 loss to Philadelphia last time out.

New Orleans is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 10-4 in their last 14 games following a loss. New York is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case that could be made either way here, but you have two teams that are struggling on offense here whether it’s by choice or not. New Orleans has switched up their playcalling mindset to defense first while the Jets have just been inept on offense more often than not this season. I’m looking at the under all day here.
